MacKeeper’s Birthday Sumup

13 years ago, in April 2010, MacKeeper was launched—kicking off a new era in cybersecurity. What started as an anti-theft tool evolved into an all-in-one toolkit for MacBook users. In the years since, we’ve reached multiple milestones and attained notable certifications in the industry.

Our main achievements include…

• ISO 27001 certification audit. It means that MacKeeper is in line with the latest information security best practices
• AV-TEST certification. MacKeeper’s tools have been put through rigorous tests and found to comply with the highest security standards. In other words, when you use MacKeeper, you can be sure you’ve got the real deal
• AppEsteem certification. MacKeeper has met all the compliance requirements set by AppEsteem, which certifies security apps and similar services. Given that the AppEsteem certification protects the users of security apps, you can rest assured that your computer is in safe hands
• Notarized by Apple. This is a guarantee from Apple that the MacKeeper app is safe to install and doesn't contain any malware.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane as we remember some key moments in MacKeeper’s history.

2010: Inception

In April 2020, MacKeeper launched a beta version of our anti-theft solution, now ID Theft Guard. Anti-theft was geared toward…

• Protecting your sensitive information and personally identifiable information (PII) from being leaked on the dark web
• Searching the dark web for data dumps containing your email address
• Protecting your banking information during the payment process.

2011: Building trust in the community

Word started getting around, and more people became interested in what MacKeeper had to offer. By 2011, more than a million people trusted us with their privacy journey as we surpassed 1 million installations.

2012: Forming relationships with MacKeeper users

From the more than 1 million app installations in 2011, we gained 740,000 regular customers. These are people who took a chance on MacKeeper and stayed. Relationships are at the core of what we do. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to continuously improve our product.

2013: Connecting with the MacKeeper community

Between 2011 and 2014, we launched educational webinars to help people get better acquainted with MacKeeper’s products. We also incorporated the following updates:

• Added live chat, giving you quick and easy access to an expert team member should you get stuck using our tools
• Integrated 16 apps into MacKeeper 3.

2014: Introducing MacKeeper to the world

We took MacKeeper to the world stage when we launched MacKeeper 3.0 at the MacWorld conference. The launch introduced us to more Mac users who didn’t yet know about MacKeeper. Check out what was said about MacKeeper at MacWorld Live.

2015: Establishing our voice in the tech space

By 2015, we had reached 20 million downloads and 1 million requests worldwide. We rolled out a brand-new cleaning tool—Memory Cleaner. We also got to showcase our new Human Inside feature at CES 2015—a world-renown tech event that introduces new innovations in technology.

2016: Venturing into the research space

MacKeeper was proud to launch our Security Research Center alongside Chris Vickery, which was featured at CES in Las Vegas. It was established to find and report data breaches so that the people affected could take action and protect their personal information. Through it, we discovered US Air Force sensitive data, which was a notable achievement that showcased the extent of our skills and research.

Also, we hosted 9 webinars that were attended by 2000 participants. ​​This was part of our continued effort to educate our customers and the industry about our tools. ​​

2017: Improving MacKeeper’s accessibility

We understand how important it is for our product to be accessible to as many people as possible across the globe. That’s why MacKeeper was rolled out in 19 languages for the first time in 2017, thereby empowering even more individuals to protect their privacy.

2018: Turning MacKeeper into a comprehensive security solution

2018 was an eventful year at MacKeeper. We released MacKeeper 4.0 with the following new features:

• Anti-tracking to prevent bad actors from monitoring your activity while browsing
• A VPN client that allows you to browse the internet anonymously, thereby making it harder for hackers, bad actors, and your internet service provider (ISP) to track your activity
• Real-time adware detection to prevent annoying pop-ups from dampening your browsing experience.

We also improved the Expert problem scan to make it more effective.

2019: Gaining more recognition in the industry

MacKeeper was honored to be awarded an AppEsteem certification in 2019, which is given to apps that are compliant. This assures you that our security standards are up to par and that our app is reliable instead of taking our word for it. We also improved StopAd and rolled out our data breach monitoring tool.

2020: Getting certification from industry heavyweights

We released MacKeeper 5 and continued to get the industry’s stamp of approval:

• Notarized by Apple
• Certified by AV-TEST
• Received ISO 27001 certification
• Received 4.7 out of 5 stars from Trustpilot.

We also introduced real-time virus detection with a proven detection rate of 99.7%.

• Rolled out a new dashboard that made it easier to navigate the app
• Updated our Chrome extension
• Improved our antivirus protection.

2022: Standing in solidarity with Ukraine

2022 was a challenging year for Ukraine. With the bulk of our team hailing from this beautiful country, the company faced the toughest conditions to survive. Our team powered through electricity cuts, rocket attacks, economic recession, and global market fluctuations. But we remained committed to providing our customers with the support and quality they’re used to and expect from us.
